Beolab 8002 or 12 as rears?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 22, 2012 17:11I like my 2 pairs of 3s. It's not as pretty but I love it's sound Though I would prefer the 5s for the front of course but that's another lifetime ago.... I wonder if a single 3 would be a good central speaker...
Beosound 3 - does anyone have problems with the touch pad
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 22, 2012 16:13I'm glad you guys had better luck with your Beosound 3. They apparently swap the pad to the new design on the second repair but within the year it failed again and B&O ended up giving me a new unit after they kept it in …
Beosound 3 - does anyone have problems with the touch pad
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 22, 2012 02:22Hi there, I have a Beosound 3 that had its warranty expired in 2010 - yes it's old. It's been on my bedside table since I bought it and no where else -serving as my bedroom radio and alarm clock. Since I had it, it's bee…

in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 18, 2012 06:30Sounds very promising, thanks for the heads up guys. I'm curious, what do you think of the sound from the BeoLit 12 sound in comparison to the Beosound 3? I have the Beosound 3 but would like to get the BeoLit 12 to use …
Beo Play

BeoVision 12-65
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 29, 2011 09:36Russ - perhaps a trip to CES 2012 is in order for you 🙂 While you are there you could also have a look at the 4k panel http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/28/lg-unveils-84-inch-ultra-definition-4k-tv-its-bringing-to-ces/ I'…
BeoVision 12-65
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 27, 2011 20:43I agree with Chris, it be wonderful if B&O could build a modular platform where that could upgrade the panel and source as new tech comes along. I'd be willing to buy an OLED BeoVision 4 85" knowing that down the track I…
BeoVision 12-65
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 26, 2011 19:13It's very interesting news. Will have to see it in real life but its going to have a tough time ahead, LG has just confirm that they plan to introduce a 55" OLED TV at CES 2012. Visual display tech is definitely moving i…

Isn't it time for a "new" Beolab 5?
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 4, 2011 21:05Hi Maab Welcome!!!! Your question is very reasonable, I too wouldn't be happy buying such an expensive speaker and find out B&O launching a replacement soon after. That being said B&O takes quite a while updating their r…
B&O News
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 4, 2011 14:17Hi Michael, I'd settle for 2 way remote for the BS5 Encore🙂.Of course my dream would be for the BS5 to be able to play audio and video files. Razlaw - the OPPO BDP-95 doesn't have audio input so you're out of luck with …

in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 30, 2011 07:0214.5k pounds isn't so bad.... you should come to Austalia. The BL5 are selling at 18.2k pounds excluding GST (i.e VAT)
Bv4-85
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 28, 2011 05:54Like many luxury goods, the value proposition of the BV4-85 is highly subjective. Personally given the pace in visual display technology, the relative pricing of the BV4-85 seems excessive to me. Then again, I think the …
